Chapter 3104 The fragrance is extinguished

After driving away the Xinyu family members, the head of the Yu family immediately sent a message to Shang Junjun saying that the Xinyu family had come to Ningcheng and told him about a brief meeting with the Xinyu family. The story was also told to Lord Shang.

He communicated with Shang Junjun, then contacted the head of the Luo family, and told the news that the head of the Xinyu family in Kaiming Mansion led a family team.

It is said that if you want to fight against the outside world, you must first settle the inside. However, the head of the Yu family first fought against the outside world, and then dealt with the family's internal affairs. He summoned the Xinyu family's daughter and the Yu family's children who were part of the Xinyu family's blood, and Fu Gao The decision to break up the relationship between the Yu family and the Xinyu family allowed them to choose whether to advance with the Yu family or to live or die with the Xinyu family.

Although the children of the Yu family have some ancestry from the Xinyu family, they bear the surname of the Yu family and naturally choose to be the descendants of the Yu family.

The girl from the Xinyu family who married into the Yu family was a concubine herself. Because she had spiritual roots and was also a Qi-refining monk, and she happened to be in love with the children of the Yu family, she married into the Yu family. She was very important to the family. My sense of responsibility is not that strong, and I will marry the chicken and follow the chicken, and I would like to be the daughter-in-law of the Yu family.

The head of the Yu family promulgated the family rules that separated the family from Xinyu, and strictly ordered anyone who violated the family rules to be a traitor and be punished according to the family rules, as a warning to the children of the Yu family.

After he finished his household chores, he didn’t stay at home and took a shortcut to the Sheriff’s Mansion.

The head of the Luo family, who entered the third courtyard of the county magistrate's mansion, received the news from the head of the Yu family, and then informed the heads of the various monk families present.

The monk families exchange news, and the monks from each family naturally know that the Xinyu family has come to Ningcheng.

The Mahayana monks from the monk families quietly released a ray of spiritual consciousness and stared at the square in front of the county governor's house. About a quarter and a half after receiving the news, the Xinyu family's team arrived .

As soon as the Xinyu family arrived outside the square, the head of the Yu family also entered the third courtyard from the back door of the Sheriff's Mansion.

The season has entered August, and it is already the end of mid- to late-mid-autumn. Autumn is getting stronger in Ning County, and various crops are maturing one after another. People who make a living by planting are rushing on the road to harvest.

Ningcheng is also enveloped in the joy of the autumn harvest. Many of the carriages and horses traveling inside and outside the city are pulling crops or fruits picked from the fields, and some are vendors transporting goods back and forth. .

The square in front of the Sheriff’s Mansion has also become a convenience area. Currently, only half of the space behind the statue of the Guardian of the Sacred Tree and in front of the Sheriff’s Mansion is used for carriages and horses. The area in front of the statue except for A passage more than ten feet wide was left in the middle, and both sides were filled with various crops that the people had just harvested.

The autumn harvest fruits harvested by the surrounding people include rice, wheat, golden millet, millet, beans, etc., as well as peanuts, sesame seeds, etc., as well as nuts, chestnuts, okra seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc.

AlsoSome people cut radish, white melon, and pumpkin into strips and dry them in the sun. Some people also dry beans or vegetables, and some dry eggplants, peppers, etc.

This is "autumn sun".

The sun-dried items were spread out in colorful pieces, turning the square into a large floral cloth, filling the square with a lively atmosphere of life.

That is also the taste of life that Le Yun likes. Therefore, she sits in the main hall of the Sheriff's Mansion, and her consciousness often wanders around.

People in Ningcheng love life.

Even if they live next to monks who can live for thousands or tens of thousands of years, under the pressure that ordinary people and monks are obviously two different worlds, they still have not lost their nature and maintained their simplicity. My true intention is to make ordinary people's lives enjoyable.

Le Yun’s spiritual consciousness would occasionally stop on her jade statue, accompanying the people to enjoy the autumn weather and share their joy in the autumn harvest.

Sometimes her spiritual consciousness would stop on the eaves of the first courtyard of the Sheriff’s Mansion to feel the admiration of the people for her.

When Xinyu’s team arrived at the square, a ray of her consciousness was resting on a citron that was the first to enter the courtyard, watching the people coming and going.

The government officials set up a long wooden frame with wood and planks in the corner of the yard, spread it with coarse cloth, and asked the people to put the seasonal vegetables and fruits on the shelf, leaving free baskets. , brought back by themselves.

When yamen and petty officials often see familiar faces when recording, they can’t help but scream: “Hey, hey, hey, I remember you just sent a basket of vegetables yesterday, why are you here again today? Did you?"

"Hey, you, you, and you, you just sent a basket of pumpkins yesterday."

"...I remember that it was just two days ago in your hometown. I gave you a bag of golden millet. Why did you bring something else today?"

"If you give it to me every day, will your family have enough to eat? Keep the things at home first, otherwise the fairy will know about it. Uneasy."

The people respect fairies, and petty officials and government servants are also honored. Sometimes they are worried that the people will send all the good fruits and vegetables to the county governor's house, which will lead to insufficient food for their own homes.

　“Master, yesterday was yesterday, and today is today.”

　“There is enough to eat, and there is plenty.”

　“The first few of my family The golden millet has been harvested in the sky, and the purple millet has been harvested in the past two days. Today, I will give some purple millet to the fairy for a taste."

"Master, please don't worry about us. The fairy is here, let's go for a walk. I feel very happy when I leave."

The people happily put the things they brought on the shelves, or poured them into the cloth bags placed by the governor's house to hold rice grains. Or in a wooden barrel, happy againLeaving happily.

The Xinyu clan’s team hurried to the square. Because they were all monks with good hearing, and the magistrate’s mansion had not opened the magic circle, they also heard the lively chatter of the people in the magistrate’s mansion. .

Also because they heard it so clearly, the two heads of the Xinyu family became increasingly uneasy.

With panic and uneasiness, the two heads of the Xinyu family led their family monks around to the southern end of the square, and walked along the wide path left by the people to enjoy the autumn sun to the statue of the guardian of the eternal tree. forward.

The two heads of the Xinyu family were in front, and the monks behind them formed several columns, and then released the young people or children in Ruyi House.

Children and young people are arranged from small to large, followed closely by the elders in front.

Several young monks lit sticks of incense and held them for the children and teenagers.

The monks each took a stick of incense in their hands and lit it again.

When people around saw a family coming to offer incense to the statue of the Immortal Tree Guardian Fairy, people walking or doing work stopped and watched with smiles.

Everyone in the Xinyu family lit the incense in their hands, raised it above their heads and prepared to bow down, when all the incense went out at the same time.

　"Ah-"

　"The incense has gone out!"

　"The incense has gone out, the incense in their hands has gone out!"
/>
The people watching were shocked.

Ever since the statue of the guardian of the sacred tree was erected in Ningcheng, every household in the city has worshiped the statue. There has never been a precedent for the incense to be extinguished when offering incense. Unexpectedly, it happened today.

In general sacrificial or blessing activities, if the incense goes out, it means that the person being sacrificed is angry and refuses to accept the incense.

Someone offers incense to the sacred statue of the guardian of the sacred tree, and the incense goes out. Is it because the sacred tree does not accept the incense, or does the guardian fairy do not accept the incense?

At this moment, the people were all speculating on the reason why the incense went out, and they were all nervous.

Upon entering the courtyard, Shang Mahayana also heard the noise in the square and immediately sent a message to the young master.

Mr. Shang Jun was wandering outside without conscious awareness, but he was always paying attention to the outside. When he heard the screams of the people in the square, he rushed out of the side hall and ran outside quickly.

The monks who were staring at the square with their spiritual consciousness were shocked when they saw the incense extinguished when Xinyu offered incense, and immediately informed their family leader.

The heads of the monk family jumped into the air, flew diagonally to the empty path in front of the enclosures on both sides of the main hall, and ran towards the gate.

Mahayana monks from various families also followed.

When the head of the monk family flew into the courtyard, he also caught up with Lord Shang and Mahayana Shang, and flew out of the governor's mansion together.

Outside the mansion, people in the square knew that the incense sticks of the incense crowd were extinguished, and they all waited with fear for the next step.

When the members of the Xinyu family heard the sound of "porphyry", their hearts tightened. Before bowing down, they first looked at the incense in their hands and saw that the incense that was originally lit and then burning brightly went out. , so shocked that the hair stood on end.

Children and young people still don’t quite understand what extinguishing the incense means, and their expressions are blank.

The two heads of the Xinyu family had their hearts in their throats. They forced themselves to control their hands from shaking, and then used the hand gesture to draw a wisp of flame to light the incense in their hands.

They raised the incense above their heads and were about to pray when they heard another sound of "porphyry".

The incense in their hands went out again!

The face of the old head of the Xinyu family changed several times. He knelt down and bowed nine times in a row. He stood up tremblingly and lit incense again.

However, just as he raised his hand above his head, the incense went out again.

I lit the incense three times and it went out three times, and no smoke came out when the incense went out.

Not only were the hands of the old family owner Xinyu shaking, but his legs were shaking. He knelt down again and knocked his head heavily on the ground. His forehead hit the ground with a loud "bang" sound.

He kowtowed nine times and cried bitterly: "Fairy, the Xinyu family is wrong! The Xinyu family knew that they were wrong, so they came here to plead guilty and ask the fairy for forgiveness! Please forgive the fairy!"

The old Patriarch looked panicked, and Patriarch Xinyu was even more panicked. Cold sweat broke out on his face. He also knelt down, bowed his head and kept shouting: "Please forgive me, please forgive me..."

The two heads of the family knelt down, and the monks of the Xinyu family also panicked and threw themselves on the ground.

The children and young people who followed them followed suit, whether they understood it or not, and followed the adults in kneeling down.

There were nearly 200 people, including the monks of the Xinyu family, non-monks or spiritually gifted young people, and children, and they knelt on the ground with cheers and cheers.

The monks knew that the person offering incense was the Xinyu family, but the people walking in the square did not know. When they heard the person offering incense reporting his origin, they were all stunned.

After being stunned, there were waves of exclamations: "Are they the family from Kaiming Mansion?"

"They said it themselves, that's it, they are harmful! ”

The sympathy in the hearts of the people disappeared in an instantThey dispersed, each one angrily yelling: "Harmful!"

"Ungrateful bitch!"

"Emotional and unjust, you beast!"

"The sky is watching what people do, the sky has eyes, the evil spirit will finally be punished!"

Those who know that people who offer incense are committing adultery and flattery with certain people in the court. The people of the family who ordered the monarch to exploit the people of Ning County were furious and cursed at the Xinyu family crowd.
